J. J. is a fan of grass-fed beef. She feels that Grass-fed beef is harder to find and more expensive than corn-fed beef. But the health value of Grass-fed beef is very important as it is lower in total fat, higher in vitamin E, vitamin B thiamin and riboflavin, calcium, magnesium and potassium. Grass-fed beef is also 2-3 times higher in anti-inflammatory omega-3s, lower in calories and leaner.

There are some very interesting food facts in J. J.’s diet plan, eg., dairy is bad for your bones. The Nurses’ Health Study showed those people who consumed the highest amount of milk had the highest risk of bone fractures.

Many people will be unhappy to know popcorn is not a healthy snack because it is made from damaged fats and it is high-glycemic which makes your blood sugar spike. Popcorn is a trigger food which makes you crave for more salt, starch and fat. Microwave popcorn may have toxins in the bag liners.

The Virgin Diet is divided into a three-cycle plan including elimination, reintroduction, and the Virgin Diet for life. Learning which foods cause reactions is very important.

J. J. Virgin has compiled her diet plan into a book- The Virgin Diet, drop 7 foods to lose 7 pounds in just 7 days. For more information, please see J. J. Virgin’s website:www.thevirgindiet.com
